Silvia Prada (born 1969 in León, Spain) is an artist who lives and works in New York City.[1] Her work as an illustrator and decorative artist has been described as a monochromatic and geometric documentation of pop culture. Capturing a fetishistic representation of defining moments and iconography.[2] Her work was featured for the first time in The Face magazine in 2002.[3] She has helped shape the movement of contemporary illustration art of the past decade and contributed artwork to a number of leading arts and culture publications including The Face, Dazed & Confused, BlackBook, VMagazine, VMAN, Tokion, Candy Magazine[4] Fanzine 137[5] and EY Magateen.[6]

Prada's works and large-scale illustration and/or poster installations have been showcased in museums, art fairs and galleries worldwide[1] including MoCA Shanghai,[7] Colette in Paris[8] and Deitch Projects in New York[1]

She self-published "The Silvia Prada Art Book" in 2006, an anarchic reflection about the history of fashion in a visual dialogue with decorative painters of the last century.[9] "The New Modern Man: A Styling Chart", published in 2012, features a series of stylized portraits highlighting male hairstyles juxtaposed with geometric drawings, paying homage to the barbershop and the subtle nuances and cues that help define the male persona, identity and representation within the parameters of visual and popular culture.[10]
